British Airways pulls out of major UK airport as all flights cancelled

British Airways is pulling all remaining flights from London Stansted, signaling the end of BA CityFlyer’s operations at the Essex airport.

BA CityFlyer plans to cease Stansted services by April 2027, with the airline continuing to sell tickets on those routes until spring next year. The planes currently operating the Stansted services will be redeployed to other areas of the network after that period.

The impacted Stansted destinations include Bergerac, Nice, Florence, Olbia and Majorca, with Stansted set to lose its sole non-stop link to Florence next summer. Five weekend routes that had been planned for summer 2027 have been removed from the 2027 timetable.

BA CityFlyer states it will maintain its larger network from London City Airport, where more than 20 destinations remain connected. The company notes it regularly reviews where aircraft are deployed to meet customer demand and will invest capacity elsewhere across its network.

For travellers already bound for the affected Stansted destinations, alternative options will be available from Stansted during summer 2027, with other carriers serving some routes. The Florence route will continue through the winter season before the service is axed.
